Social science researchers in the global South, and in South Africa particularly, utilise research methods in innovative ways in order to respond to contexts characterised by diversity, racial and political tensions, socioeconomic disparities and gender inequalities. These methods often remain undocumented – a gap that this book starts to address.
Written by experts from various methodological fields, Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences is a comprehensive collation of original essays and cutting-edge research that demonstrates the variety of novel techniques and research methods available to researchers responding to these context-bound issues. It is particularly relevant for study and research in the fields of applied psychology, sociology, ethnography, biography and anthropology. In addition to their unique combination of conceptual and application issues, the chapters also include discussions on ethical considerations relevant to the method in similar global South contexts.
Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences has much to offer to researchers, professionals and others involved in social science research both locally and internationally.

John Nichols's The Progresses of Queen Elizabeth (1788-1823) has
long been an indispensable reference tool for scholars working on
Elizabethan court and culture - despite the serious limitations of
an antiquarian edition now two centuries old. This old-spelling
edition of the early modern materials contained in Nichols's
Progresses is edited to high and consistent standards, and based on
a critical re-examination of printed and manuscript sources. It is
structured by a narrative of the two sets of annual progresses
undertaken by Queen Elizabeth I: the 'summer progresses, ' when
Elizabeth travelled throughout southern England and the Midlands,
visiting cities as far afield as Bristol, Coventry, Norwich, and
Southampton; and the 'winter progresses, ' when Elizabeth moved
between her residences in and around London, including Richmond,
Hampton Court, and Whitehall. New editions of the major progress
entertainments - Kenilworth, Woodstock, Elvetham, Cowdray,
Ditchley, and Harefield - are set alongside accounts of civic
receptions, tilts and Accession Day entertainments, and
non-dramatic texts, many of which have not been published since
Nichols, including verses delivered by Eton scholars before the
Queen (1563); John Lesley's Oratio (1574); Gabriel Harvey's
Gratulationum Valdinensium (1578); and the Oxford and Cambridge
verses on the death of Queen Elizabeth (1603). The editions are
supported by translations of all non-English material, full
scholarly annotation, illustrations, and maps. This will make John
Nichols's The Progresses and Public Processions of Queen Elizabeth:
A New Edition of the Early Modern Sources the most comprehensive
collection of early modern texts pertaining to the court and
culture of Queen Elizabeth.
Volume I covers the years from 1533 to 1571.

More than any other English monarch before or since, Queen
Elizabeth I used her annual progresses to shape her royal persona
and to bolster her popularity and authority. During the spring and
summer, accompanied by her court, Elizabeth toured southern
England, the Midlands, and parts of the West Country, staying with
private and civic hosts, and at the universities of Oxford and
Cambridge. The progresses provided hosts with unique opportunities
to impress and influence the Queen, and became occasions for
magnificent and ingenious entertainments and pageants, drawing on
the skills of architects, artists, and craftsmen, as well as
dramatic performances, formal orations, poetic recitations,
parades, masques, dances, and bear baiting. The Progresses,
Pageants, and Entertainments of Queen Elizabeth I is an
interdisciplinary essay collection, drawing together new and
innovative work by experts in literary studies, history, theatre
and performance studies, art history, and antiquarian studies. As
such, it will make a unique and timely contribution to research on
the culture and history of Elizabethan England. Chapters include
examinations of some of the principal Elizabethan progress
entertainments, including the coronation pageant Veritas temporis
filia (1559), Kenilworth (1575), Norwich (1578), Cowdray (1591),
Bisham (1592), and Harefield (1602), while other chapters consider
the themes raised by these events, including the ritual of
gift-giving; the conduct of government whilst on progress; the
significance of the visual arts in the entertainments; regional
identity and militarism; elite and learned women as hosts; the
circulation and publication of entertainment and pageant texts; the
afterlife of the Elizabethan progresses, including their
reappropriation in Caroline England and the documenting of
Elizabeth's reign by late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century
antiquarians such as John Nichols, who went on to compile the
monumental The Progresses of Queen Elizabeth (1788-1823).

Set in the remote village of Great Pond, Maine during the first
half of the nineteenth century, its heroine, Harriet, leaves her
comfortable home in New Brunswick, Canada, along with her husband
to assist his ailing parents, who live in a tiny wilderness hamlet.
Her courage, self sacrifice, and determination, as well deep
religious faith, was the inspiration for this book. Although the
story is fictional, Harriet was a real person who possessed many of
the virtues of its main character. Her stoic nature and remarkable
abilities not only enable her to adapt to an completely different
lifestyle from her former one, but to initiate many improvements in
the community and its life style as well. Although this writing
features hardships and demanding circumstances placed upon the
people concerned, it also contains their joys and even some
romantic occasions.
